The Rowe Inn: Morels!

Seared scallop en brioche with morel duxelle.

If you like or love morel mushrooms, like me, then you need to visit The Rowe In in Ellsworth, MI. Not a well-known town by any means, Ellsworth still boasts some wonderful gems and The Rowe Inn is certainly one. Almost every spring they develop a special menu centering on the local morel harvest in which I was lucky to participate . . . in every way!

I did this photoshoot a while back and felt compelled to share now just before the local morel crop. And, yes, despite the odd, very chilly-below-average temps we will STILL have morels soon!

Lemon napoleon dessert. (Correct-no morels here!  ;-> )

Upon arrival, each plate holds the special menu of the evening.

Yes, their wine selection is DIZZY-ING!

Ice Macros and Such

Kinda like a gem-ice encased lilac bud.

Yep, about half the state of Michigan had a late winter storm: ice, sleet, snow, rain, cats, dogs, etc. Since I was frozen in, I worked from home half the day and took pix the other half! 

Not a bad surprise . . . happy spring.

PS Don't forget that clicking on the images should provide a slideshow.

The pine trees are so frail right now--one touch and this frozen branch would have broken off.

That's right . . . no line drying today.
